Weigh in!

  I realized I have not done an update about how my weight loss is going. I forgot to weigh in this morning. {I always weigh first thing in the morning, after using the restroom, completely naked and before doing anything- like eating or showering.} 

Yesterday, 1/23/14, I stepped on the scale and weighed in at 231. That's 6 lbs down from 1/10/14. So about 3 lbs. a week.

Meh.

I have to admit, I'm not thrilled. A true confession, though? I weighed in last Friday and forgot to report it. I had lost 4 lbs. in  a week. I was happy about that! 

So, I believe had I not been sick this week... I could have had a bigger number.

I need to measure myself, so I can keep track of inches lost, too. 

I listed several goals here, in my very first post. They were long term goals. I decided I needed some short term goals. I'm kind of leery of short term goals; I tend to put time frames on them and then feel like a failure when I don't meet the goal by said date. This time, I'm going to make my short term goals without a deadline. I don't know if this is a good idea or not? I guess I'm erring on the side caution. 

Short term goals:

1. Start WW officially
2. Lose 15 lbs.
3. Lose 10% of my body weight {24 lbs.}

Hopefully I can reach those goals in a timely manner. I'm looking forward to those accomplishments!

I'll leave you with some recipes I've found:

I made this yesterday {I didn't use carrots or peas because I didn't have any and I also didn't use mushrooms because I HATE mushrooms! YUCK! LOL} The soup is super yummy! Tastes just like chicken pot pie! De-lish! Mmm Mmmm
